Beautiful Pair of Delinieres Limoges Blue Roses with Heavy Gilding Cabinet Plates c. 1890

Porcelain : Antique : Limoges

 

Beautiful pair of porcelain Limoges cabinet plates by Delinieres & Co. dating from the mid-1890s to 1900, with a deeply scalloped rim molded with what looks to be scrolls and acanthus leaves, hand decorated with heavy gold accenting trim. Sprinkled across the center of the plate are a few delicate and delightful sprays of wild blue roses.

Measuring 8-3/8" in diameter, each plate is in excellent condition, with no nicks, chips, or cracks, and only slight gold loss on the rims and a few high points. Marked with the R. Delinieres & Co. red overglaze decorating mark (Mark No. 5) dating from 1894 to 1900, along with a second decorators mark of V.F., with the words Limoges and France appearing above and below, all surrounded by a circle of small stars, a mark listed in Gaston's Limoges encyclopedia as unidentified but dating to the early 1890s.

Price is for the pair.
